Following a decision Monday night not to renew the contract of Superintendent Jay Lutt, the Hamburg School Board will gather this evening to discuss their options for hiring a new superintendent. The Board had earlier also vote to stop sharing a superintendent with Farragut. The Omaha World-Herald says in the interim, Lutt will  continue to be Farragut’s superintendent.

The Hamburg and Farragut school districts are in the third year of a four-year whole-grade sharing contract, which created the Nishnabotna school district. About 300 people attended Monday’s meeting. About a dozen addressed the board, including several members of the Farragut school board.

A special meeting is scheduled for this evening at 6:30 in the Hamburg Middle School, and the Hamburg Board will meet Feb. 17th in a joint session with Farragut’s board.
